It could start w/just Wednesdays. On Wednesdays, we'd neither work nor buy anything. If just 20% of Bluesky did so, it'd be 7,000,000 people. **That** would most assuredly get noticed. Then we make clear that it'll increase, as nec. 2 days/wk, 3 days/wk... No one need lose a job. Call in sick.

BREAKING: The Epstein Files just got one step closer to being released. With Adelita Grijalva’s victory in AZ-07, Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna now have the magic number — 218 votes — needed for the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing the full Epstein Files.

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

So many coverups. Release the Epstein files. Release the Homan tapes. Release the Venezuelan fishing boats evidence.

RFK JR…

Neil Young opened with this at Farm Aid 2025 Bless him!

so the president just tweeted out an offense worse than watergate, we all realize that right?

Looked at my data collections for state-backed activity. If the report were a picture:

I hesitate to even post this on the kind of platform fueling the crisis we're in. It's almost certainly futile, as the algorithms don't want anyone to hear this kind of sentiment - which is a big part of the problem. www.levernews.com/we-must-stop...

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

Deeply disturbing rhetoric is spreading from influential MAGA figures (including the President of the United States and the owner of that other website). They have no idea who the shooter is, and many of these same people mocked Democrats when they were victims of political violence in the past. 1/

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.

Trump is the absolute worst of us. You’d never work for him. You’d never do business with him. You’d never be friends with him. You’d never trust your wife with him. You’d never trust your 14yr old daughter with him. Yet you voted for him. That says more about you than him.

The CDC doesn't understand disease control. The EPA doesn't understand environmental protection. Now it's clear the Dept of Energy doesn't understand energy. This administration is populated by imbeciles.

Today's bulletin is a must read: www.meidasplus.com/p/today-in-p...

I feel like in the 1980’s/90’s this would be a major plot point in a Tom Clancy novel, and the operation would be carried out as an off-book, illegal black op, with various characters trying to cover it up lest they face congressional hearings. Now the President just announces it.

Meiselas: Xi Jinping and Modi and Putin and all these world leaders are gathering in China, and they're laughing. You know when Donald Trump says the world was laughing at us — the world was not laughing at us before. The world is quite literally laughing at us right now.

Pretending eugenics and fascism are in no way related is like being aggressively ignorant in public

Textbook eugenics

It's eugenics it's eugenics it's eugenics.

Adolph Hitler, one of the most infamous fascists of the 20th century, was inspired by the American Eugenics Movement. Eugenics promotes this exact type of destruction of those viewed as inferior. Educate yourself on fascism and eugenics.

Dear people who are saying that the CDC directors who quit yesterday should have “stayed and fought”, With all due respect, you do not grasp the magnitude of the problem of RFK Jr. He is asking them to do unethical and immoral things that will actively harm the people of the United States. 1/3

There aren't many stories that prompt gasps at our editors' daily budget meeting. But this was one.

This is good, very, very good.

Oh my GOD! There’s photographic evidence of the Clintons with a pedophile! #releasetheEpsteinfiles

“.. At no point in the unfolding Epstein scandal has Trump focused on the young victims of these heinous criminals. .. The president has shown no concern for anything other than protecting himself.” @rexhuppke.bsky.social @usatoday.com www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Trump Admits Virginia Giuffre was "stolen " All these years HE KNEW He heard her pleas for Justice Trump did nothing about it Trump knew of the horrors of the young girls HE DID NOTHING TO STOP IT (and we all know why) BELIEVE THE VICTIMS This is infuriating My heart breaks for all the girls

This seems like a good time to share this AWESOME video from the film #UNFIT (2020), featuring the great Rick Reilly, about TRUMP'S CONSTANT CHEATING AT GOLF.

Heading into NYC for a live shot, and this is the sign on one of the overpasses

🚨🚨🚨 Jeffrey Epstein during a 2010 deposition: Q. Have you ever socialized with Donald Trump in the presence of females under the age of 18? A: Though l'd like to answer that question, at least today l'm going to have to assert my Fifth, Sixth, and 14th Amendment rights, sir.

My reaction to that completely batshit press briefing by Tulsi Gabbard in which she accused Obama of “treasonous conspiracy” is that whatever is in the Epstein files about Trump must be really really bad

🎯

A primer for the civically ill-informed.

Without comment.

here are four different images of the new york skyline trump has auctioned for charity

He's telling us he in them.

This is crazy Absolutely 100% staged The crane lowering the flag for the “money shot” absolutely gives it away www.threads.com/@jonesjerrys...

Think hard. For years, Trump insisted the Epstein files were real and contained incriminating evidence against the Clintons and other key Democrats. Now he insists that the files themselves are fake and created by Clintons and the Democrats to frame him. He’s literally telling us he’s in ‘em!

Yes. For the past couple of years I've been saying that the pious John Roberts is the Roger Taney of our day. I realize now that is unfair to the memory of Roger ("Dred Scott") Taney. www.publicnotice.co/p/john-rober...

The only rational explanation for this is that they want to cause a conflict to justify an escalation, martial law and cancel elections Whatever you do protesting, is not the time for uprising Not yet

Nazis slept just fine. Until they didn’t. We are here because Justice was denied prosecuting Trump for the attempted coup. Let’s not let that happen. Beware of the Nazi next door. Do not forgive and forget.

“No collusion” “I won the election” “She wasn’t my type” “I never slept with her” “It was a perfect phone call” “We didn’t commit any fraud” “I never paid her any hush money” “There are no classified records here” “There is no Epstein client list”
